Jackson question?

[Dgood]

Ok so I have a female jacksons approx. 5-6 months old and I've had her for about three weeks. I know that female veileds and panthers can produce eggs without there ever being a male. But since jacksons give live birth are jacksons females capable of this too?

Technically, yes.

It doesnt happen as often though.

Thank you I was wondering about that and I defiantly want to be prepared for it if it ever happens. Is there any info you can give me? What to look out for? What I can do for her?

Theres not much that you can do that I know of.

Jacksons do tend to have a bit of edema during pregnancy(water retention that shows itself the most in the eyes and gular area).

So an episode of edema could be a sign of egg production.

Ok thank you for your help. I'll keep an extra eye on her
